They call it the Eternal City ...

Again, I am reminded that it is a terrible waste to use Rome as a transit stop. But it IS always there, and I can come back to see it properly again ... However, before I run out the door for food and a leg stretch, guess how long it took me to get here from Sydney?[Poll #1637488]

Eep! My longest travels are shorter than your shortest option! California to Barcelona only took 24 hours. Train from the middle of California up to Washington that Time I Lost My Passport While Visiting Family also took 24 hours.

...Glad this didn't turn into something like the winter last year.

That is the standard by which all trips are currently judged ;-) I was trapped in terminal 5 at Heathrow again, but this time everyone was in a good mood and doing their utmost, so this trip is definitely better so far!

And I KNOW! I console myself that I am excellently placed for New Zealand and Fiji, and I do love NZ ...
